In the world of Windows security and Internet connection, there is not only a range of practical advice, but also myths and half.
Let's take a look at the most.
1. Antivir is an absolute uselessness, I will not risk
In a number of discussion forums, you may experience the following sentence: "I never used Antivir and vira not." Whatever is on the claims of any amount of truth, your antivirus program should become an essential defensive rampart immediately after installing Windows. As the firewall and Windows Defender (the default in Vista) fulfill your but against viruses and malicious code in all its "beauty" certainly neochránÃ*. And even though the number of users behaving very careful, infection with the virus can never be excluded. If you do not want to spend as antivirus, use for domestic and non-commercial purposes, for example, AVG Anti-Virus Free and avast! Home.

The default Internet Explorer is logically one of the most popular targets of different experiments and the misuse of remote attack.

3. Blocking outgoing traffic significantly increases the safety

Usually, after the system is infiltrated and the malicious code is trying to send data, respectively. contact other potential victims. In such a case may be blocking outbound communications practice, but in general, certainly not the most important elements of defense computer.
4. Having a strong password, the protected data safe
This rule may apply for certified algorithms that have undergone internal testing and the principle is known - it is a normal practice and the strong encryption, which is in a strong password virtually. But it certainly does not apply to all programs or operating systems, where the encryption algorithm is one big unknown, and which therefore may be password protected access, but no date as such. Although a strong password is used, often can not be ruled out various options circumvent or use other ways to obtain the first protected data.
5. If the web address begins with https, it is safe
Abbreviation https means that communication with the remote server Encryption, a data path that can not normally read. It is also one of the reasons why use https all the sites that transmit sensitive information (online banking, transaction confirmation, Web bets, etc.). Generally should not be automatically considered as a site completely safe, because communication via protected connections only indicate confirmation certificate and "agreement" in our browser to the remote server to encrypt conditions.
